It has however been witness to many more battles than that, and if it remembers the presence of British and German troops in 1914, it is also proud of vestiges dating back to the Romans. Mons is also a town of tradition and it's celebrations of “Lumeçon” and “Le Car d'Or” highlight these traditions.
